Protecting God's Children

In the summer of 1993 the Catholic Diocese of Dodge City implemented a training program entitled Protecting God’s Children. The purpose of this program is to provide a basic awareness in identifying at risk situations involving children. It also provides for common sense boundaries that we all need to be aware of when we work with children.

When this program was rolled out, Bishop Gilmore designated that attendance is mandatory for all employees and volunteers within the Dodge City Diocese who work with an/or around children.

This is a reminder for everyone involved in various Catholic Community program concerning children, beginning in Fall of ’05 if they have not completed:

A one time, 3 hour Protecting God’s Children program

An Acknowledgment receipt of the Policy for the Protection of Children and Code of Pastoral Conduct Code of Ethical Conduct

A Criminal Background Check

they will not be allowed to work with children.

Protecting God’s Children will be offered on the following dates:
